Description
A hands-off, flavorful slow-cooker teriyaki chicken recipe that is family-friendly and easy to customize.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5–2 lb)
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 cup broccoli florets (optional)
- Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of your crockpot in a single layer.
- In a bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger until smooth.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
- Scatter broccoli on top if using, or add during the last 30–45 minutes of cooking.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours until the chicken is tender.
- Shred the chicken in the pot and stir to combine with the sauce.
- Serve over rice or noodles and garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions.
Notes
For a thicker glaze, remove some sauce to thicken separately before returning to the chicken. Reduce sodium by using low-sodium teriyaki sauce.
